WOW! I love my new Tackle box!

[Spinning]

I bought yesterday on my shopping freenzy a new tackle box my XXlarge Crop wasn't cutting it. Couldn't find stuff, no idea what I have!
So I went looking and bought this at Walmart for $29.99

Plano 3-Drawer Tackle Storage Box

It is fantastic. I have all my embellishments, tools adhesives etc and other odds and ends in there. Plus all my CM tools! Which I use a lot!
Now I can put my albums, paper takers and sticker binder in my big bag with room to spare!

What a great idea!

I love the idea of using a tackle box for embellishments and tools!! Why didn't I think of that?

What are paper takers and what kind of sticker binders do you use? I found a sticker binder online awhile back and thought I bookmarked the site, but now I can't find it. I have got to get organized. Did you get yours online by any chance?

60 days and counting . . . again!

Most of the girls at the crops I go to have these... I NEED to get one because you're right... the XXL just don't cut it!!

It is a great little box!
Here is the a link for the one I got

Walmart was cheaper!
I bought my paper takers at Michael's they are semi hard plastic with a zipper and nylon type handles. Not sure if Generations makes them. I have 3. I also have the crop in style sticker binder which I am pleased with. I think I now have a very portable system and user friendly!
I also have the crop in style JR. which was my first bag, silly me....had I only known! But I have found it comes in handy if I am going to a friends house for a few hours or to couple hour crop. I can just throug a few things in there and I am all set!

Very cool!! I've looked at tackle boxes but I never get one 'cause I'm sure I'll buy the one that none of my stuff will fit in. Or it will hold everything EXCEPT the most important thing I want to take.
I'm going to look for that one at WalMart.
Now that I think about it I've been looking in the hardware section at TOOLBOXES not TACKLEBOXES!!!! Silly me....

Walmart has different sizes to fit your needs. They also have soft sided lure boxes that have 3, 4 or 5 divided boxes/trays. I LOVE the one I purchased. It has 4 boxes/trays with each having 36 compartments. Each box/tray is @ 6" x 8" and 1 1/2" tall. The outer soft sided container also has pockets for the tools and goodies. I think mine cost @14.97. They have others that range from $12.97 to $36.97.

my DW has a couple of tackle boxes she uses for her quilting supplies. luckily I can still fit MOST of my stuff in my NaNavigator, PSB, and PaperTaker. I used to have the PSB in the navigator but it had to come out a fe wmonthes ago for space

The navigator is getting tight again as I just bought the Quickutz Tool on Sunday, and I am going to have to find space for the die I will be buying (I know better than to try a no-shopping challenge )

I may end up getting a tackle box if I ever really get into having large amonts of eyelets and small stuff like that.

Hey Mike you will love your quickutz! I bought one about 6 months ago and love it. I want to get the mini fonts next! I jsut have the Honey font. I will have to search around but I know i have a link somewhere where they are usually 25% off.
I was surprised how much stuff I actually had to go in my tackle box! What I love most is my cutting tools are in there and on the top. Which is great for using at crops! Before in my bag I had to fish them out and basically keep them on the table for easy use.
I just started using eyelets about a month ago and needless to say I have an assortment now!

Yes I do and a room for DW's quilting. I had found an area in the basement I was going to put up some walls and build a craft room for us, BUT the house we live in is the one I grew up in and built in late 60s so the basement is not tall enough for a room according to the local laws/rules.

SO we are both depressed

But the zoning/code offical person I talked to suggested temporary dividers or something to wall it off. I might use some shelving units to wall it off.

Spinning thanks for the site I will check it out!

Thats funny, My hubby and I went to this great big outdoor store in Dallas and all we got was a tackle box for me. I can use the tote I have for paper and all my other stuff will fit in the tackle box. I did get a $12 one.
I am ready if I ever get to go to my first crop.
